Farofa is bringing a fresh flavor to the contemporary jazz scene. Their signature sound is amplified by an eclectic collection of ideas and inspirations drawn from rock, jazz, contemporary classical, pop, deep African rhythmic tradition and, above all, from the entire musical universe of their native Brazil. Each hailing from different cities in Brazil, Farofa’s raw talent thrives on the collaborations of its members, touring musicians Felipe Fraga (Percussion/Drums), Isaias Elpes (Bass), JP Mourão (Guitar) and Luis Mascaro (Violin). Through their independent journeys, they have worked with such prolific artists as Ricky Martin, Lee Ritenour, Selena Gomez and Foo Fighters – and together, they are turning heads with their fresh and imaginative set lists and avante-garde mashups. Celebrated as a pivotal new sound on the Brazilian and World Music scenes, this group delivers a passion-filled, electrifying musical experience not to be missed.
